In the era of soundtracks created more out of corporate synergy than artistic inspiration, the soundtrack to
Ghost World
is a wonderful treat. The music from the film based on the comic book by
Daniel Clowes
contains some great obscure
blues
and
West Indian music
transferred from vintage 78s as well as Indian
film soundtrack music
, new recordings of vintage
jazz
, and an original score by
David Kitay
, who also scored
Clueless
Scary Movie
. Standout tracks include the propulsive, rhythmic romp
"Jaan Pehechaan Ho"
by
Mohammed Rafi
, the humorous
"C-h-i-c-k-e-n Spells Chicken"
McGee Bros
, and the soulful
"Bye Bye Baby Blues"
Little Hat Jones
. Also of note is
's moody
"Theme From Ghost World,"
which captures the bittersweet essence of the coming-of-age film perfectly. The songs chosen for
are obscure songs chosen clearly for their rarity and meaning, not commercial viability. The tenderness and appreciation with which each was selected can be heard in the subtle hisses and pops that remain from the original 78s.
is one of the most inspired and unique soundtracks in years. ~ JT Griffith
